I see Israel more as a "Belli Dancer" in the midst of
Salivating Old men with pockets stuffed with OIL Money while their
people cry "Give us a life" and the Greedy, salivating Old men
point to Israel reverently shouting, "PEACE". A Peace of
Haifa, a Peace of the West Bank, A peace of Jerusalem and the people
respond with, "Death to the Jews" and the Death total in Syria
is now incalculable...but that's OK..it's Muslim on Muslim and it
doesn't count. Besides there's no OIL there. My point being that until
the Arab countries and Israel find leaders who actually care about their
own people, there will be WAR

If Israel shows greater flexibility, it can still influence the post-nuclear deal agenda ; If Israel digs in its heels, it will increasingly become a liability rather than a strategic asset to the U.S.
